Volvo and Mercedes will develop engines

Daimler is considering a partnership with Volvo in engine development. It is curious that this is not about electric motors, but about traditional ICEs

Rumors that Mercedes-Benz may become a minority shareholder of Volvo and share engine technology with the Swedish brand have been going on for almost two years. However, last fall, the head of the development department of Daimler said that the concern stopped the development of traditional ICEs and will focus on the electrification of the model range.

Meanwhile, a representative of the Swedish brand confirmed the fact of negotiations with Daimler specifically on the development of ICE, but stressed that the final decision has not yet been made. If Daimler and Volvo agree on cooperation, the deal will mean an expansion of partnerships between the German concern and the Chinese auto giant Geely, which owns Volvo.
